Hi Bryan >i don't see myself using aptana or another special ide. firebug + emacs >are a perfect fit. yes, you're right! my early reason to use aptana was fast coding through the html assistant, highlight and auto completion tool. one of the *good* things of aptana is the inclusion (choose) of the javascript library (dojo, jquery, mootols, etc).. but, I felt like slow using it.. I just ended using gedit / kate + firebug here is another tool like firebug (venkman from mozilla) <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/venkman/" target="_blank">http://www.mozilla.org/projects/venkman/</a> currently reading about it at <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/venkman/venkman-walkthrough.html" target="_blank">http://www.mozilla.org/projects/venkman/venkman-walkthrough.html</a> <div class="gmail_quote">2009/5/3 Bryan Berry <<a href="mailto:bryan@olenepal.org" target="_blank">bryan@olenepal.org</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> subzero, i am pretty darn blown away by how useful firebug is check out this tutorial <a href="http://www.evotech.net/blog/2007/06/introduction-to-firebug/" target="_blank">http://www.evotech.net/blog/2007/06/introduction-to-firebug/</a> and the intro pages here: <a href="http://www.getfirebug.com" target="_blank">http://www.getfirebug.com</a> i don't see myself using aptana or another special ide. firebug + emacs are a perfect fit. -- Bryan W.
